Are expired domains still a viable asset for affiliate marketing in 2025, or are the risks of inheriting penalties and irrelevance too high for a real advantage?

Expired domains can still be effective if they have good backlinks and traffic, but Google is becoming stricter about their use for SEO.

They can still work if you vet them properly by checking backlinks, history, and relevance.

I don't see the need for it. There was a time it was a relevant practice, but I don't find it to be of any value anymore.

Great question! Expired domains can still bring value if they have clean history and relevant backlinks, but risks like penalties or outdated authority are real. Careful research is key!
